About Me

I am a board certified psychiatrist and nationally acclaimed author who specializes in the psychiatric evaluation, medical and therapeutic care of individuals who are suffering from mental illness. I have a solo private practice in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Hampton Roads area. This allows me to give my patients the privacy and attention they deserve. Patients come to me from all over the country.

With over 39 years of experience as a practicing psychiatrist, I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, panic, depression, OCD and sexual disorders. I am an internationally recognized author of the book HELP! I THINK I'M DYING! PANIC ATTACKS AND PHOBIAS, as well as the producer and narrator of the acclaimed educational dvd PANIC ATTACKS AND PHOBIAS CONQUERED: PATIENTS SHARE THEIR VICTORIES.

I am a dedicated medical professional providing private and personalized care for my patients. Each patient is unique, so a unique and comprehensive treatment plan is created for each. Follow up treatment includes medication management, therapy or a combination of both. I find treatment becomes more effective in time and cost when this is done by one highly trained individual rather than splitting it with multiple providers. Let me help you on the road to recovery.
